2014 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 liter. I went with the same can you have because I like the looks of it and seems to probably hold more oil so less drain intervals and price was a factor

My dealership said my catch can wasn't needed and wouldn't catch anything. I opened it in there shop after 2,000 miles and let it run on the floor. Lol

So, I added a second output fitting to my Original RX catch can. I had been emailing with the RevExtreme folks about the benefits of a dual output can, and they were gracious enough to send me the par

Mine is a 2010 6.2, not sure if the plumbing is the same.

Been in contact with Elite Engineering for the past couple weeks to get them to make a kit for the K2. They had a truck in today to test fit one of their cans and a way to mount it. I just ordered a can from them. I will post up pics when the can is installed on my truck.

I used hose clamps. Just as extra security. The hoses seemed to slip onto the fittings on the engine pretty easily....I could see them slipping off just as easy without a clamp. Just be careful you dont snap off the fittings on the engine, they are just plastic. A member here did and had to replace his entire intake. Not a cheap mistake.

Think I've got it figured out if I'm wrong can someone please correct me on the 14 5.3 there is a connector on the driver side half way down the intake and one just below the throttle body I take the first hose from side of intake connect to inlet on catch can and the exit of catch can to bottom of throttle body! Is this the correct hose route?

I think you are thinking backwards just like I did. Exit of the can goes to the drivers side. Take a look at chevy2tuff2006's post #622. He explains it pretty well.

Steve at Elite Engineering just sent me a detailed installation guide yesterday. I found it to be very helpful. My Elite can is on its way.

These instructions show the can being mounted to the master cylinder housing. I asked Steve if i could mount mine in the empty battery tray behind the driver's side headlight. He said no problem and is including the proper bracket to mount it there with my order.

 

I also asked Steve if I needed the larger can. He said the regular can will have no problem going from oil change to oil change without needing emptied - even in cold climates where I am at.

 

He was very helpful.

My mishimoto can was about half full with 1,235 miles. Mine would definitely not make it between oil changes. I like that it has a sight glass so I can quickly check it.

Got any pics so I can see how you hooked the hoses up and where?

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
